Bleached hair's new best friend

I was successful in grabbing this product from the BR Rewards Vault, but sadly it arrived empty and the contents covering the rest of my vault order.

My first impressions were of the scent, it smells so good! and with the scent wafting through my home and my hands feeling soft and silky I thought well now I have to buy it instead. The scent is very aromatic but I can't pinpoint the scent family at all. The packaging is sturdy but somehow in its box the gold cap came unscrewed. It has a clear brown plastic bottle with brown label sporting gold and blue metallic lettering.

Next grocery shop it landed in my trolley, and I used it that night after a shower. The instructions are easy to follow and the pump top makes it easy to dispense

My hair is dry colour damaged (bleached) and it was frizzy and wild looking, after washing my hair I foregoed the conditioner and towel dried my hair and applied two and a bit pumps into the palm of my hand. I started at the ends and worked my way up to the top and instantly I could see how much of my hair was in need of extra care.

I wrapped my hair with Muslin cloth and allowed to dry. After enough time had passed I checked my hair and not only was the frizz tamed but my hair was silky and shiny and oh so manageable (not weighed down). I can not see me going without this product in the future

Love argan oil

I was given this as a gift and I love it! Has a beautiful smell and is not a difficult addition to your after shower procedure just add 1-2 pumps to towel dried hair it works wonders and you won't need to use it everyday so it lasts! I have baylaged hair and I've noticed a massive difference in my overall hair health. It is smoother and glossier and for a relatively cheap price!

Tips: Apply after brushing

Hair as good as new!

I was lucky to grab this in the vault and I really enjoy it! The packaging is great. It's a plastic bottle so you don't have to worry about it breaking. It's also designed really well and still looks aesthetically appealing.

The product is dispensed with a dripper, but you can't really control it and it can get a little messy if you're not careful which is the only downside. The product itself is great and and so luxurious! I feel that my hair is truly nourished after use and is so smooth, light and absorbs easily without making my hair feel greasy or weighed down. It's also fairly watery which makes it easy to use and smooth over hair without clumps having more product than others.

I use this after washing my hair on damp hair, then let it air dry or blow dry. My hair is left silky smooth and flyaways are diminished. I prefer to use this mainly in my ends and will spread the rest through the roots. It really feels much more expensive than it actually is and I will definitely repurchase!

The only hair Argan oil I've liked

Argan oil has been a hot product for haircare for a while now and I have tried out a few different ones. I tended to avoid it after a while though because I found it made my hair really frizzy and seemed to make it more prone to static. I really like Essano products and have used everything they have released to date. I ended up winning the shampoo and conditioner that go with this product off Instagram so when I saw this in the BR Beauty Vault I had to grab it to complete the set. I had high hopes for this but since my previous forays into organ oil for my hair hadn't gone well I didn't expect much. I have been pleasantly surprised by how good this has been for my hair. I use one pump when I have washed my hair and it is still wet and I spread it evenly through my hair. It dries well and my hair doesn't seem oily from using it. My hair is well under control now and I'm not having to use the anti-frizz treatment I had been using leading up to when I started using this Essano range. I am loving this Argan Oil and I will continue using it because my hair is in the best condition that it's been in for a very long time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I absolutely love this product, I have issues with how dry and frizzy my hair is from bleaching / over dyeing my hair and struggle to find something that tames and nourish my hair without leaving it feeling dead and heavy , and this works great for me , after showering and washing my hair I blow dry and straighten as I like it to be styled and simply pump one pump into the palm of my hand and apply to the very ends of my hair where needed ! It smells wonderfull to and makes my hair silky smooth without weighing it down xx

Best So Far

I've been really conflicted in how I've felt about this product.

On one hand, rubbing this product into the ends of my hair while wet can result in it looking great for the next day or two. It is the first product where I've felt like my hair has looked less dried and damaged after using it.

Yet on the other hand, my hair hasn't felt as soft and healthy as it has with some of the other products I've used.

So I have been using both to try and get the best effect. But I would still like to find one product that achieves both. But as one product, I think this product has been the most effective one I have found so far.

As a product, the serum is very similar to an oil, so when applying to the hair, you only need a couple of drops, otherwise the hair can feel a little oily.

For context, I use this product on bleached damaged hair.

Tips: Don't use too much.

Essano Argan Oil

I use an argan oil through my hair after every wash religiously, so I've tried quite a few. I picked up the Essano Argan Oil Hair Recovery Serum on sale, and thought I'd give it a go since I like the Essano brand and it is also made in NZ. The one I brought was 50ml in size, and the actual oil is quite runny, so you need to get it through your hair and ends fairly quickly or it seems to go everywhere.  I'm not going to say it's a great argan oil, it's alright but I really didn't find it overly great. It left my hair soft and with some shine but there are much better options out there. I used half the bottle before going back to another of my favourite argan oils because I just didn't feel it was doing anything spectacular for my hair. Also I couldn't stand the smell of the product, it seems to be highly frangranced and wasn't a smell I particularly liked. I still love alot of Essano products, however I can't recommend their argan oil as being anything special.

Great product even better price.

So I'm new to essano products but have fallen in love with the brand and all it has to offer. I recently tried the Argan Oil Hair Recovery Serum because of the great reviews I've read online and I was so pleased that the review was spot on. I love this stuff. It goes along way I only need one pump doe my hair and my hair like two thirds the way down my back if that makes sense and it does exactly what it says.

Tips: Do not use too much or your hair will become oily. Also don't leave next to the face serum by essano like the review that I read stated because they do look very similar when getting ready in the dark and I made this mistake when I wanted to apply gace serum and as soon as I put it in my hand I new it was the wrong stuff and had to apply it to my hair when I didn't need it and my hair then looked greasy. But I didnt want to waste it. Also if you are in doubt wait for a sale I picked mine up for around NZD$12 from the warehouse on a sale.

Essano hair recovery Serum

The Essano Argan Oil Hair Recovery Serum is the only one I use for my hair, I love it! My hair gets very knotty and it is super long so after every time I wash my hair I squirt some on my hands and rub it into my hair before blow drying. I find it really helps my hair stays soft and easy to brush. I also use it whenever I'm straightening or curling my hair, it's great at protecting it from the heat. You only need one squirt at a time so I find it lasts awhile and it is a great price like the rest of the Essano range. I really love the smell of it, it's not overpowering and leaves my hair smelling fresh.

Incredibly soft hair!

I have dry, coloured hair so when I saw this at New World I just had to buy it. It comes in a small brown bottle with a great pump which dispensers the perfect amount.

It is quite a runny consistency which I like and it smells so beautiful. I like to apply on towel dried hair, I use 2-3 pumps as my hair is quite long then rub my hands together and smother it all over my hair. When I first used it I though uh oh I have used too much but once I have blow dried my hair OMG it is super soft! As in I have never felt it like that before.

I adore how this makes my hair feel and look, shiny, soft and frizz free. It is one of the best serums I have used. I paid $11 on special which is fantastic for such an amazing product.

I am in love and will purchase over and over. Highly recommend. My favourite Essano product by far. Love!
